AJ Ranks Vol. 3: Gotye Parodies

AJ
Ranks

With all the
parodies to Gotye popping up on the internet I figured why not take a few
minutes, watch a couple of the videos I haven’t seen and then rank them. In
order of the least funny to the well-this-is-funnier-than-the-others, Gotye
parodies.

10. Some Justice That I Used To Know

This song isn’t very funny. At least she is making a
statement, I think...

9. The
Kobe That We Used To Know

If it fits the category and is a dis of kobe it will make
it on my list. Even if just barely.

8.
Some Study That I Used To Know

Ha. A joke about forgetting all the stuff you learned in
college, that’s clever. I definitely laughed out loud when they panned out at
the end.

7.
Gotye Dog Parody

Come on, these dogs are barking along to the song. Then
the cat comes in. This is complete and utter genius.

6. Canuck
Playoff Song

This is sad because it was posted 4 days before the
number Canucks were eliminated from the playoffs by the number 8 seed Los Angeles
Kings. Good effort guys.

5.
Jeremy Lin That I Used To Know

A super Knicks fan is super sad that Jeremy Lin signed
with the Rockets.

4.
The Star Wars That I Used To Know

That George Lucas impersonator is spot on, way to go guys
who made this. If you’re a die hard Star Wars fan you’ll love this, and if you
haven’t seen star wars you might enjoy watching a fat, naked guy hitting notes Britney
Spears wishes she could hit.

3.
Somebody That I Used To Know (Key of Awesome)

A parody of a parody, The Key of Awesome is a YouTube
channel that makes parodies of all sorts of videos. This one for example is a parody
of fellow YouTubers Walk off the Earth doing a five-man one-guitar cover of
Gotye’s hit.

2.
Some QB That We Used To Know

Not only the best put together video of the bunch, it had
the best singes too. The concept is two football fans, one from Indianapolis
and one from Denver sing about losing their respective QB’s this offseason. My
favorite line from the Bronco’s fan was about Tebow. The lady fan sings “I’ll
admit that you are good in red zones, but your throwing sucks and you’re a bit
of a fumbler.”

1. Somebody
Who Used To Be My Bro

Two bro’s can’t recollect what they did the night before.
The only evidence they have is all the drawings that their bro’s did on them
when they were passed out (Mustaches, a bra, and multiple penises.) the pain in
their mouth and penis collectively. This video is by far the funniest of the
group but definitely not safe for work.
